20 years of Art Nouveau in Nancy, 400 works, 45 artists and art industrialists at the service of glassmaking, ceramics, cabinetmaking and all the decorative arts.
An extraordinarily complete collection (357 pages) on the multifaceted artistic movement (applied arts, in particular) of the Ecole de Nancy, published on the occasion of an exhibition in 1999.
École de Nancy, or the Nancy School, was a group of Art Nouveau artisans and designers working in Nancy, France between 1890 and 1914. Their work was largely inspired by floral and vegetal forms found in the region. The goal of the group was to produce in series ordinary objects, such as furniture, glassware, and pottery, with fine craftsmanship and in original forms, making art objects available for people's homes.
